Episode 69: 2 Live Crew

This week we're talking about the hilarious and extremely horned up 2 Live Crew. While known by most as the guys who rapped about butts, coochie, and D, without 2 Live Crew, free speech in music would not be what it is today. Luke Campbell battled with the supreme court (and won) after he and record store owners were arrested for distributing these albums. Seriously. Singing about booty used to land you in jail.

Closing track: "The Fuck Shop" from As Nasty as They Wanna Be (1989)
